Chapter 11: Is it okay to be free?
Li Ke is not a stingy person, besides, he is the same age as Li Zhonghua, and he can talk very well, and he also knows that Li Zhonghua is a talent, and he has the benefits promised by Li Zhonghua, so he also generously sent Li Zhonghua a luxurious mansion, even maids and servants are readily available, and a housekeeper and ten beautiful courtesans are also included.
Although the courtesan is very beautiful, if she wants to compare with Yang Xue, she is still a little worse. Not even as tempting as Xu Xiaolan.
But none of this is important, the important thing is that Li Zhonghua feels that he is a son-in-law, is it really appropriate to accept these courtesans?
"What's wrong? Isn't my brother satisfied with this generous gift from this king? Li Ke looked at Li Zhonghua and said as if he was not very happy.
"Happy, happy, Your Highness has given such a big gift, how can you not be happy here! It's just that....... Li Zhonghua was a little embarrassed and hesitated.
"Just what? This king tells you that these courtesans are carefully selected by this king from the teaching department, rest assured, their bodies are very clean, and, the most important thing is their previous identity, all of them are the daughters of the ministers of the court, the real daughter! Hahaha....... Li Ke looked very proud.
In order to envelop Li Zhonghua, Li Ke was very generous.
"Your Royal Highness, I don't hide it, I married my lady in Xia, but I didn't marry my mother, but I married in Yang Mansion."
Although the ten courtesans are beautiful, Li Zhonghua still chose to be with Yang Xue without hesitation, after all, after getting along for so long, he can already feel that he still has a little place in Yang Xue's heart.
"What, you married into the Yang Mansion?" Li Ke opened his mouth wide and said in surprise.
In Li Ke's view, Li Zhonghua is still a very capable person, how can he be a son-in-law?
But what disappointed him was that Li Zhonghua nodded in confirmation.
"No, this king does not agree with you to join the Yang family, and if you want to worship and marry, it is also your wife who marries into your Li family." Li Ke said angrily.
If there is a way, Li Zhonghua is actually not willing to be a son-in-law, but he has already promised Yang Xue, how can he regret it!
"It's good for a husband to make a promise, but you have to think clearly, once you really get rich, your life will be ruined, and you will never have a bright future."
"No, this king already treats you as a brother, this king must not watch you enter the Yang family, and when your lady arrives, this king will talk to her in person."
Li Zhonghua was a little speechless, this is really the emperor is not in a hurry, and he is in a hurry to die of a eunuch.
When Li Ke was about to leave, Li Zhonghua hurriedly chased after him and said, "These courtesans, Your Highness should take them back!" ”
"The gifts given by this king, when will they be recovered, if you don't want them to sell them, you can give them to beggars, and they have nothing to do with this king." After Li Ke finished speaking with a sneer, he turned his head and left, obviously, he was still a little angry with Li Zhonghua.
Li Ke looked at it a little helplessly, and the ten charming courtesans in front of him all showed frightened expressions on their faces.
"Master, please don't let us leave, the slaves and maids will definitely serve their masters with all their hearts, and they will be beaten and scolded without complaining."
"Master, please take us! We can perform songs and dances for our masters, we can accompany our masters to chant poems, or we can play the piano for our masters and play chess to relieve boredom. ”
The courtesans knew very well in their hearts that from this moment on, their fate was in the hands of Li Zhonghua.
So they have to do everything in their power to please the new master.
"Okay, stay as you wish! If you want to leave at any time, you will have a gift of entanglement. ”
After handing over all the things to the housekeeper to arrange, Li Zhonghua walked around the new house.
The mansion presented by His Royal Highness the King of Shu is naturally extraordinary, not only luxurious, but also very large, at least hundreds of acres of area, pavilions and pavilions, there are artificial piles of hills in the back garden, the green trees on the mountain are in the shade, the small bridge and flowing water under the mountain can be described as everything, the environment is beautiful and picturesque, it is really a paradise on earth!
The so-called mansions and villas in later generations are simply weak compared to this mansion.
Even if Yang Xue came to Yizhou and saw this new mansion, she was very surprised, even if it was the Yang Mansion when her father was alive, it was far from it.
In fact, Chang'an is the imperial capital, very prosperous, it can be said that every inch of land is gold, naturally not Yizhou can be compared.
"Xianggong, these are all given to you by His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" After sitting down, Yang Xue looked at Li Zhonghua and said.
The two are about to get married, and Yang Xue also began to directly call Li Zhonghua his father-in-law.
"Of course, your father-in-law doesn't have the ability to afford such a big house." Li Zhonghua said with some pride.
"Xianggong, we are about to become husband and wife, are you really willing to join the Yang family, and you won't regret it?" Yang Xue said with some hesitation.
Li Zhonghua helped Li Ke, the king of Shu, to completely solve the smallpox epidemic, and almost everyone in Yizhou has known about it, and Yang Xue naturally knows very well what a great thing this is, and what a great merit is, and more importantly, he has saved countless lives.
If people know that such a great figure in the hearts of the common people is actually just a son-in-law of the Yang Mansion, I am afraid that there will be countless people who hate the Yang family.
Yang Xue's original heart was not resolute, but at this time it had become resolute.
"Xianggong, you still don't want to join our Yang family."
"What do you say? Lady, do you want to regret your marriage? Li Zhonghua said with an anxious face.
"Xianggong, don't be in a hurry, Xianggong's affection for the concubine, even if the concubine is hard-hearted, it has already been melted by you.
It's just that Xianggong is a person with great ability, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future, how can the concubine ignore Xianggong for her own selfishness! ”
"And then?"
"It's just that the concubine body also has unbearable hardships, so although the concubine body is willing to marry Xianggong, but the child born after we get married, the concubine hopes that Xianggong can agree, at least let the first male surnamed Yang, continue the incense of the Yang family."
"Lady, you mean that I don't have to join the Yang family, and you are willing to marry me, I heard me right, are you lying to me?" Li Zhonghua was overjoyed and said in disbelief.
Although Li Zhonghua is unwilling to be with Yang Xue as a wealthy person. But he didn't want to see that Yang Xue had to agree to marry him because of the coercion of Li Ke, the king of Shu.
"Lady, you tell Xianggong, has His Royal Highness the King of Shu looked for you? Did he force you to marry Xianggong, and force you not to let Xianggong join your Yang family? Li Zhonghua asked anxiously.
